Activism, and the magic of names.
There’s a lot of celebration going on this week, about the centenary of the 1918 Representation of the People Act, which gave “the vote” to some property owning women over thirty (and almost all men over twenty one!), and celebration too of the audacious work of the suffragette movement. Now, I’m going to position some…

Really though, you ought to at least spend a moment checking your spelling before you send out your nasty nonsense… Folks, we all know not to open links in unsolicited emails, don’t we…

Funerary rites for the solitary
Paganism is an old path, and the old gods have been reverenced for, well, a long time. But in a largely book driven monotheist culture, those walking the experiential ways are still disparate, and nowadays as likely to be connected to community through the Internet as in any physical sense.

Fake News
I am pondering the current enthusiasm for “Fake News” and how it has always been here. The blatant lies and misinformation in the US at the moment, whether it be crowd numbers or whatever may have been going on in foreign lands, either makes you laugh or cry or both. And over here in the…

Druidry during the Madness
There’s a thread on The Druid Network’s members’ message board “social_dot” which asks how Druids should react, should behave, should respond to Brexit, Trump, xenophobia and other world issues. I’m afraid my fingers hit the keyboard and I couldn’t stop them. And then it felt worth pushing it out from behind the safety net of a…

Living with madness
A provocative title – and possibly a trigger phrase for some, for which I apologise – but that’s what we seem to be doing in the UK. Ruled by an elite which is so totally disconnected with those it presumes to govern that it doesn’t even try to cover up the ridiculous, aberrant, contradictory and…

To my MP on the Fox Hunting vote
Hi Luke I know as a generational member of the farming community you’ll probably view foxes as pests. I’m not going to contend that, my chickens probably agree!

The utmost heresy
I realised the other day that we had become heretics. For a multitude of reasons we made the conscious decision to slip out of the chains of the capitalist system, and gave up going to work for money. In doing so we didn’t drop out of society, nor did we plunge ourselves into abject poverty –…

Loin Girding
Battles take many forms, from the bloody and muddy fields of hand to hand combat through to the air conditioned and be-wigged court rooms of legal wrangling. And tomorrow we take our parts in the dance that is a Public Inquiry into the refusal of permission to flood my village with an unsustainable number of…
